Tasting Notes

The 2008 Le Difese is particularly rich and appealing, combining the Mediterranean charactersof Sangiovese with the structure and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of blackberry, cassis,dark cherries and baked fruits are followed by sweet cherry and prune flavours, intermingled withspices and herbs. A period of twelve months in oak barrels gives complexity and length to this veryapproachable wine which is delicious to drink now.

ProducerTenuta San Guido

Quietly, elegantly and almost involuntarily, the Incisa della Rocchetta family set to release the wine that would revolutionise the Italian wine scene creating a totally new genre: the Super-Tuscan. Tenuta San Guido is now a legendary estate and was first planted in the 1940s by the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who noted the similarity between Bolgheri’s terroir and that of the Graves. When, in 1968, Sassicaia was finally commercially released, it took the fine wine world by storm. Cementing its iconic status, in 1994 it was granted its own appellation – Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC.
